This is a gothic historical horror novel which really hits the mark both in terms of story and prose. It spans generations of a family who are suffering from a curse. This curse shows itself as a dark shadow, rarely interacting with the family directly yet it's effects are felt and widespread.

Taking place between the civil war and the 1940s , the historical aspects are just as important to the narrative as the curse itself. And if you're a fan of historical fiction you'll absolutely love this.

We get to know this family very well which makes the deaths and tragedies that befall them an emotional reading experience. They're generally good people with good intentions yet this curse continues to torment them over many generations.

When I think of "gothic" horror, this is the kind of book I'm thinking about. It's sweeping personal narrative and emotional hooks makes for a great read. I highly recommend it.

This book was perfect to me. Western and paranormal aspects. I love books like this and there aren't enough of them.

The Wretched and Undone by J.E. Weiner is a masterpiece! I wasn't expecting it to be so good as it was... it was really good. I rated it 5 stars.

1863 meets paranormal! This book is a the perfect combination between history, fiction, love and some humour. Highly recommended!!
